\"\"<\/a>This month\u2019s featured site is one of these \u201clabors of love\u201d that provide an enjoyable glimpse into East Coast racing during the late \u201950s and early \u201960s. While this site covers an eclectic mixture of street cars, boats and even dragsters(!), there are several pages of very early color photos taken at Connecticut\u2019s Lime Rock Park and Thompson Raceway.<\/p>\n

Whether you frequented these tracks in the day, or are just interested in never-before-seen photos, this site is certainly worth a look.<\/p>\n
